Metrobus adds service to several key routes

Starting this week, WMATA is adding new service to several of the most important bus routes throughout DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Many lines will see more frequent buses, especially during nights and weekends.

In DC, more frequent weekend & evening buses are now running on nearly all of the major trunk bus lines, including 16th Street, 14th Street, Georgia Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, H Street, and U Street / Florida Avenue. Perhaps most importantly, Georgia Avenue’s route 79 MetroExtra service now runs on Sundays.

In Maryland, the New Hampshire Avenue, Georgia Avenue, and National Harbor lines are getting more buses. For Virginia, the biggest improvements are along Leesburg Pike and Little River Turnpike.

WMATA modifies its bus service a few times each year, but this round is particularly important because of DC’s WMATA’s Better Bus program, which is gradually improving the most important bus lines in the District.

The complete list of service changes includes dozens of changes all over the region. Most of them are positive, although a few routes here and there will see decreased service.
